From Valkyrie's paper journal.
I have overheard some people discussing the news reports in the kitchen, when I sought replenishment after this morning's training. Suicide. This is not an option that I believe I ever considered. My distaste for my incarceration was not so deep, I suppose, as hers. This is an idea I am inclined to reject, but then, who is alive and who is not?
Was it her pride that kept her from submitting to imprisonment? If so, it is ... disappointing, though I hesitate to speak ill of my betters even on a private page. After all, I was rescued. I am certain no prison could stand against the strength of the Brotherhood. I am certain too that she knew that. No, I reject that it was pride.
My inclination is not to trust the police department. They loathe us in the criminal justice system, as I have the intimate first-hand knowledge of. But it is not very clever to kill a prisoner. I am not inclined to think that they are that stupid.
I wonder if she did this to implicate the police in crimes against a mutant? More power to her, if so, though I doubt it will accomplish much in the long run. They are too short-sighted and stupid, too human, out there in the world, to care much particularly about crimes against their betters.
It is very sad. I am certain she would have preferred to die in a way more visibly for the cause, rather than in some fusty interrogation chamber. I will mourn her.
I wonder what effect this will have on the permanent training teams.
